Germaine

The cropped Germaine top — made of soft Japanese velvet, sculpted with couture techniques, in either a black or bordeaux colorway — is as much a standalone statement piece as it is a versatile layering option: wear it alone, bare shoulders exposed, or wear a turtleneck underneath. Add a blazer over that. Wear it with high waist, wide leg trousers or your favorite pair of vintage jeans. Or a skirt! Whatever makes you feel most confident. After all, the Germaine top is named after Germaine Greer, leader of the second wave of the women’s movement throughout the sixties and seventies; champion of sexual liberation. What else is there to say about this top, then, other than that it’s entirely yours to enjoy.

By eliminating third party retailers, AMMARA is able to charge less than a third of the margin you pay at a department store. This allows us to provide you with the highest caliber product at the best possible price. We work with the most luxurious fabrics like Sea Island Cotton — about four times as expensive as regular cotton poplin, and Four Ply Crepe — a type of silk most often used in couture garments. Our factories are the best in their class, run by professionals with over forty years of experience working with designer garments. AMMARA shirts are designer quality shirts at much more accessible price points.
